| 概要 |
Objective : The aim of this study was to determine an appropriate threshold value for delineation of the target volume in PET/CT and to investigate whether we could delineate a target volume by phanto...m studies. Methods : A phantom consisted of six spheres (φ10~37 mm) filled with 18F solution. Data acquisition was performed PET/CT in non-motion and motion status with high 18F solution and in non-motion status with low 18F solution. In non-motion phantom experiments, we determined two types of threshold value, an absolute SUV (TSUV) and a percentage of the maximum SUV (T%). Delineation using threshold values was applied for all spheres and for selected large spheres (a diameter of 22 mm or larger). In motion phantom xperiments, data acquisition was performed in a static mode (sPET) and a gated mode (gPET). CT scanning was performed with helical CT (HCT) and 4-dimentional CT (4DCT). Results : The appropriate threshold values were aT% = 27% and aTSUV = 2.4 for all spheres, and sT% = 30% and sTSUV = 4.3 for selected spheres. For all spheres in sPET/HCT in motion, the delineated volumes were 84%~129% by the aT% and 34%~127% by the aTSUV. In gPET/4DCT in motion, the delineated volumes were 94~103% by the aT% and 51~131% by the aTSUV. For low radioactivity spheres, the delineated volumes were all underestimated. Conclusion : A threshold value of T%= 27% was proposed for auto-contouring of lung tumors. Our results also suggested that the respiratory gated data acquisition should be performed in both PET and CT for target volume delineation.続きを見る
